# Monix: reconstructing Audient iD USB mixer control on Linux

> Monix implements Linux mixer control for Audient iD USB audio interfaces through a companion kernel module, protocol library and GUI. Its protocol documentation maps USB control requests from official-app captures and macOS binary analysis, covering routing, faders, metering and device profiles.
